They charged into machine gun fire willingly and enthusiastically! As their brothers in front of them were torn apart by the shower of Nazi bullets they ignored their screams of pain and anguish. Instead they picked up the rifles and ammo from their falling bodies before it got wet. They then ran on into the hail of burning lead knowing the call of the same destiny.

How could men do this? They had a vision, a commitment and most of all nothing else mattered more at that moment. It was for a just and honorable cause, the lives of their wives, their families and all that American’s believed in, Freedom!

I have long wondered how humans could commit to such a destiny when they have known so much more? Surely it was not everyone but in the rush to shore those not so willing to sacrifice their lives were dragged along in the current of screaming human flesh rushing to the call of death and destiny. It was for a great cause, it was for an honorable cause, it was for a human cause, it was for God and Country! No matter how good the goal (and I never question these great men) it still spoke of one mysterious magic, something hard to define and explain, the willingness to die for something you believe in! I have always wondered, marveled and been thankful for these men, one of which was my father, whose uniform still hangs in my closet. He did not die in WWII, though he was a medic there on the bleeding grounds covered with bodies; however, he was brave and I am proud of him.

In contrast, just this week I was given a new understanding of how Islamic Terrorism arises and how in many ways it may grow from an energy similar to that which drove the men on Normandy Beach (note I am in no way comparing the soldiers on Normandy Beach to the evil vile nature of terrorists! My only question is how men can willingly give up their lives for a cause.) In the “news” we saw the face of James T Hodgkinson, a homegrown American Terrorist.

Why do I label him a terrorist? Is it not clear that he knew he would die just to kill a few dozen congressmen? Is it not clear that nothing else mattered more at that moment than killing these “evil” humans who had let him and his country down (at least in his mind)? With this event in mind, I think that if we keep an open mind, we can see what makes for terrorists!

If you don’t recall the atmosphere of WWII America (and neither do I personally, I was not born yet), the historical records can make it more clear.

Just look at the Cartoons that were on every movie screen to get a quick idea of how immersed even the children of America were it the war for our very survival.

So I say Congratulations to the fake news media! They have demonstrated the basic technique for turning a person into a killing machine with no regard for their own life. It appears to me that the magical recipe for home growing a terrorist is fake news, 24 hour a day media repeating and distorting every possible event in America to polarize those who forget they have the power to click the remote to OFF! How about FaceBook?Go on most anyone’s facebook page and you will find a mirror of their self deception. As they block and unfriend the opinions they don’t like they begin to swim in a mirror of what they choose to believe. When “news media” makes up any message for money and audience, there is no longer any intent upon sharing the truth of world events and politics. The goal is stirring a frenzy of news consumer emotions and depicting any conflicting news as fake news. Now you have the recipe for home grown terrorists! Make the opposing viewpoint the “fake news” while you are to be seen as the voice of freedom. Now you have a captive audience! Forget about the truth, people don’t stay with you for the truth it is too boring and it requires too much thinking. Feed the frenzy of self deception and make claim to your audience! There is no one to stop you it would seem. Who will die next before we put a stop to Fake News!

Virus research and the new tools of science allow the creation of the equivalent of Pandora’s Box. Once we release new life forms into the environment it is forever! Is this good or bad?

We put up fences and got rustlers.

We created banks and got bank robbers.

We created computers networks and got computer viruses.

We created genetic manipulation and we could get new killer bugs.

The question is should we as a world full of people allow any corporation or nation to modify living organisms that can never be removed from our environment, as in Pandora’s Box? Can we even stop this if we wanted to? One argument for genetic manipulation is that knowing what can be done by allowing it, we can be prepared. Another argument to consider the question “do the people who make the anti-virus for out computers help make the virus?” Surely evil people will realized that if they create the disaster they can sell you disaster insurance, the Mafia is living proof.

Like this:

1. GMO FOODS (Any of them)

The Expert: Jeffrey Smith, author of Seeds of Deception and founder of Institute for Responsible Technology

The Situation: GMO foods encourage the massive spraying of herbicides on our topsoils, polluting the ground, waterways, animals and humans. Scientific studies have shown the RoundUp Ready genes in GMO foods to transfer to our intestinal flora and the pesticide producing genes, called Bt-toxins, to be present in both unborn fetuses and their mothers. In short, GMO foods pollute our environment and our bodies. No long term health studies of GMO foods have been performed on humans. In addition to polluting our bodies with mutant DNA, eating RoundUp Ready GMO foods insures a hefty dose of herbicide given that GMO crops are even more heavily sprayed than conventional non-organic crops. The environmental, political, economic, and social damage by GMO foods is staggering. GMO foods include corn, soybeans, sugar beets, potatoes, alfalfa, canola, potato, papaya, rice, honey, squash, rapeseed, tomatoes, sweet corn, tobacco, peas, and more.

The Solution: Check that all the food you purchase is non-GMO. Demand a halt to GMO foods any chance you get. Support mandatory labeling of GMO foods. Buy ORGANIC. Plant a garden

2. CANNED TOMATOES

The Expert: Fredrick vom Saal, PhD, an endocrinologist at the University of Missouri who studies bisphenol-A.

The Situation: The resin linings of tin cans contain bisphenol-A, a synthetic estrogen that has been linked to ailments ranging from reproductive problems to heart disease, diabetes, and obesity. Unfortunately, acidity (a prominent characteristic of tomatoes) causes BPA to leach into your food. Studies show that the BPA in most people’s body exceeds the amount that suppresses sperm production or causes chromosomal damage to the eggs of animals. “You can get 50 mcg of BPA per liter out of a tomato can, and that’s a level that is going to impact people, particularly the young,” says vom Saal. “I won’t go near canned tomatoes.”

The Solution: Choose tomatoes in glass bottles (which do not need resin linings), such as the brands Bionaturae and Coluccio. You can also get several types in Tetra Pak boxes, like Trader Joe’s and Pomi.

3. CORN-FED BEEF

The Expert: Joel Salatin, co-owner of Polyface Farms and author of half a dozen books on sustainable farming.

The Situation: Cattle evolved to eat grass, not grains. But farmers today feed their animals corn and soybeans, which fatten up the animals faster for slaughter. More money for cattle farmers (and lower prices at the grocery store) means a lot less nutrition for us. A recent comprehensive study conducted by the USDA and researchers from Clemson University found that compared with corn-fed beef, grass-fed beef is higher in beta-carotene, vitamin E, omega-3s, conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), calcium, magnesium, and potassium; lower in inflammatory omega-6s; and lower in saturated fats that have been linked to heart disease. “We need to respect the fact that cows are herbivores, and that does not mean feeding them corn and chicken manure,” says Salatin.

The Solution: Buy grass-fed beef, which can be found at specialty grocers, farmers’ markets, and nationally at Whole Foods. It’s usually labeled because it demands a premium, but if you don’t see it, ask your butcher.

4. MICROWAVE POPCORN

The Expert: Olga Naidenko, PhD, a senior scientist for the Environmental Working Group.

The Situation: Chemicals, including perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), in the lining of the bag, are part of a class of compounds that may be linked to infertility in humans, according to a recent study from UCLA. In animal testing, the chemicals cause liver, testicular, and pancreatic cancer. Studies show that microwaving causes the chemicals to vaporize—and migrate into your popcorn. “They stay in your body for years and accumulate there,” says Naidenko, which is why researchers worry that levels in humans could approach the amounts causing cancers in laboratory animals. DuPont and other manufacturers have promised to phase out PFOA by 2015 under a voluntary EPA plan, but millions of bags of popcorn will be sold between now and then.

The Solution: Pop natural kernels the old-fashioned way: in a skillet. For flavorings, you can add real butter or dried seasonings, such as dillweed, vegetable flakes, or soup mix.

5. FARMED SALMON

The Expert: David Carpenter, MD, director of the Institute for Health and the Environment at the University at Albany and publisher of a major study in the journal Science on contamination in fish.

The Situation: Nature didn’t intend for salmon to be crammed into pens and fed soy, poultry litter, and hydrolyzed chicken feathers. As a result, farmed salmon is lower in vitamin D and higher in contaminants, including carcinogens, PCBs, brominated flame retardants, and pesticides such as dioxin and DDT. According to Carpenter, the most contaminated fish come from Northern Europe, which can be found on American menus. “You can only safely eat one of these salmon dinners every 5 months without increasing your risk of cancer,” says Carpenter, whose 2004 fish contamination study got broad media attention. “It’s that bad.” Preliminary science has also linked DDT to diabetes and obesity, but some nutritionists believe the benefits of omega-3s outweigh the risks. There is also concern about the high level of antibiotics and pesticides used to treat these fish. When you eat farmed salmon, you get dosed with the same drugs and chemicals.

The Solution: Switch to wild-caught Alaska salmon. If the package says fresh Atlantic, it’s farmed. There are no commercial fisheries left for wild Atlantic salmon.

6. MILK PRODUCED WITH ARTIFICIAL HORMONES

The Expert: Rick North, project director of the Campaign for Safe Food at the Oregon Physicians for Social Responsibility and former CEO of the Oregon division of the American Cancer Society.

The Situation: Milk producers treat their dairy cattle with recombinant bovine growth hormone (rBGH or rBST, as it is also known) to boost milk production. But rBGH also increases udder infections and even pus in the milk. It also leads to higher levels of a hormone called insulin-like growth factor in milk. In people, high levels of IGF-1 may contribute to breast, prostate, and colon cancers. “When the government approved rBGH, it was thought that IGF-1 from milk would be broken down in the human digestive tract,” says North. As it turns out, the casein in milk protects most of it, according to several independent studies. “There’s not 100% proof that this is increasing cancer in humans,” admits North. “However, it’s banned in most industrialized countries.”

The Solution: Check labels for rBGH-free, rBST-free, produced without artificial hormones, or organic milk. These phrases indicate rBGH-free products.

7. CONVENTIONAL APPLES

The Expert: Mark Kastel, former executive for agribusiness and co-director of the Cornucopia Institute, a farm-policy research group that supports organic foods

The Situation: If fall fruits held a “most doused in pesticides contest,” apples would win. Why? They are individually grafted (descended from a single tree) so that each variety maintains its distinctive flavor. As such, apples don’t develop resistance to pests and are sprayed frequently. The industry maintains that these residues are not harmful. But Kastel counters that it’s just common sense to minimize exposure by avoiding the most doused produce, like apples. “Farm workers have higher rates of many cancers,” he says. And increasing numbers of studies are starting to link a higher body burden of pesticides (from all sources) with Parkinson’s disease.

The Solution: Buy organic apples. If you can’t afford organic, be sure to wash and peel them first.

Napoleon Bonaparte said “Religion is what keeps the poor from murdering the rich.” Is that so today? Why did Napoleon believe this? Perhaps it was because he was thinking that the church was wealthy and the people poor? This was indeed so back then and is pretty much true now. The creation of disproportionate wealth was also true for kings and other dictators then and now. Was his statement based on his historical understanding of the tenuous position that ruthless, selfish rulers had historically often created for themselves?

He certainly knew that the poor vastly outnumbered the rich and if they truly became aware of their potential power, they could possibly take from the rich whatever they wanted.

I wonder if Napoleon would be surprised at the events of today? Would it surprise him to see that madmen, blinded by religious fervor and the rhetoric of power hungry clerics, use the power of our modern day and ancient weapons to slaughter the common and innocent (not the wealthy) in the name of what they call try to call “god.”

Would it amaze him to hear empowered leaders of nation states deny the very history their fathers had experienced? Liars are a common lot in history. But revisionists, daring to deny the history of their very fathers generation, in an era of instant communications, takes the art of lying to a new height.

I wish it was only the words of Ahmadinejad that made fools of his country and his fellow citizens in denying the holocaust, in recent history. The videos of the Nuremberg trials and the newsreels they showed, during testimony, are still fresh in the minds of free men (perhaps not the Millennials who appear to have missed a lot in their history classes). Unfortunately lying to your people is not just an Iranian phenomena. Clinton, of course, did not “have sex” in the oval office. Nixon had his view of the story. Bush may have intentionally exaggerated the weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. Those average people who live in North Korea, believe they have the best quality of life in the world, I am told. The mind police make sure this is so.

Perhaps, today we must try to assess the size of the lie and seek comfort in this distinction, though I find this personally unsatisfactory. Possibly, this may have meaning for some. Man is not perfect and when confronted with the public evisceration of his ego, it is likely politicians, whose self esteem are buoyed up on the seas of opinion, will seek to lie (and for lots less than ego disembowelment).

Clinton may have lied about his sex life, for which we would not seek to have him executed. Ahmadinejad however lied about the history of the most brutal destruction of 12 million people, that the main perpetrators themselves do not deny! Well…. the Japanese have trouble with admitting to their mass rape stations they happily called “comfort stations.” The Iranian people don’t have it so bad economically and so don’t want to lose what they have! They have the profits of oil. To rise up and take back their nation which is now controlled by liars and religious fanatics however requires need and belief in what you can achieve. I think the need is lacking, from their perspective, and perhaps we have “fallen from grace” as a role model to follow. Just look at the pathetic quality of the candidates we have to vote for in the upcoming election! There are some really good liars here too.

Perhaps it is Iranian religion or the fear of others who they do not know at their mosque, that keeps the people from removing their dictatorial and fanatical leadership. Communist Russians feared expression when they did not know who they were talking to, so they learned double speak or did not speak out at all. On the other hand, what model would Iranians seek if they did rise up and remove their leadership? When we vanquished the iron fisted terror and torture of Saddam Hussein did that lead to a better land? Did these vastly different religious groups decide to work together or did the power vacuum create chaos?

Is our current national evolution and today’s American leadership a model, something that everyone worldwide should be striving for? In my experience of 70 years, we have certainly lost much of what made America great! Because of hope and greater freedom, I for one would not choose to live anywhere else; however, for people unaccustomed to more free choices and dreams of success, it might lead to chaos as we have seen in Iraq and elsewhere. I recall going to college 50 years ago and seeing this first hand. The first year sorted out who would stay. Children from homes where parents ruled with an iron fist and a leather strap, went crazy without that discipline. They were out drunk, having sex, without thought of consequences, and rarely studying with any regularity, many failed and dropped out quickly. Those who came from liberal homes, where parents let them learn self discipline (learn from their own mistakes) were no different at college than at home, for the most part they did just fine. They did not require an authoritarian parent watching over them!

So back to the original question. What keeps the poor from murdering the rich? I don’t see that religion is the answer, though it may play a part in it. I think a good part of it is the belief that the poor have that they don’t have it so bad, the belief that it could be worse in the hands of other leaders and the belief in whatever history they choose to believe in to support their chosen stagnation. A great example of this is what Al Capone said after his conviction: When convicted of heinous crimes, Al Capone said, “All I did was try to provide the lighter pleasures for my countrymen and for that I live the life of a hunted man!” He believed this, because it supported his ego, his belief that he was the “good guy.” I think we accept pathetic leadership because we don’t believe we can do better and neither do they. We all deceive ourselves, at least today, because that is how we gratify our egos!

One of the biggest problems today is the same that existed in the past, despite the power of instant communication. People don’t believe they know the truth, they just pick what truth they want to believe. With that kind of truth and little self belief in empowerment powerful people can do anything they wish and get away with it. They can even make us think that this is as it has been and how it should be. If we want to keep the little we have carefully hidden under our mattress we don’t want change! After all If AIG and Goldman Sachs are still the financial “hereos” on Wall St. any lie will do if well presented. Hank Paulson helped our country fall into hundreds of billions of dollars of debt and yet he is still a free man. I don’t think religion is protecting the wealthy or the corporate cronyism of our corrupt congress and corporations, it is more like disinformation (the quick version of revisionism) and a fear of losing the last grains of wheat in our grimy clutching hands.

Even more powerful than disinformation, there is the modern version of “Let them eat cake.”

This version is meant to be literally true as its power was early on recognized by Shakespeare, “Caesar: Let me have men about me that are fat, Sleek-headed men and such as sleep a-nights. Yond Cassius has a lean and hungry look, He thinks too much; such men are dangerous.” There is nothing like a welfare check to keep the “masses” in control. Religious conviction is the hope of reward but reward is the hope in today’s deceitful politicians.

If you don’t know what is killing your family and causing cancer, you as a parent can say you were just ignorant as they bury your child and so you can try to avoid blame. But, were you ignorant or just to busy to be responsible?

I was looking for the ingredients in Root Beer when a Google search result made me see how Root Beer was connected to America’s current economic and political challenges.

How can this all be connected? The idiocy of corporate America and the Oligarchy it has created in America became clearer to me in this “proud” ad for A&W Root Beer. I began to think of Marie Antoinette’s casual elitist statement, “let them eat cake!” How confident she was that the average person should live in poverty and misery while she from her “untouchable” palace might simply laugh at them. Do American’s understand how history has repeated itself again?

To understand America’s challenges, just read the ingredients (in their arrogant ad at the left) and you should be able to quickly see that nothing in this bottle is safe for human consumption*. Everything is artificial, unhealthy and geared towards profits with no respect for humanity. PLEASE, don’t have the audacity to tell me that they don’t know and are just trying to make a better soft drink! Al Capone said, when convicted of heinous crimes, “All I did was try to provide the lighter pleasures for my countrymen and for that I live the life of a hunted man!”

A&W was once a name that meant real root beer. Years ago we were likely ignorant of the dangers of sugar. Today we know all about sugar’s connection to cancer and that artificial chemicals are likely causes too; however, they are the cheap, profitable byproducts of petroleum manufacture. Here are the ingredients, as in the ad to the left: A&W Root Beer. Ingredients: Carbonated water, high fructose corn syrup and/or sugar, caramel color, sodium benzoate (preservative), natural*and artificial flavors. By the way, the caramel color (from burnt sugar) is also a known carcinogen.

When corporations are now (thanks to legislation) considered people but do not have the same legal restraints as people (In essence they are Royalty), they can chose to have no ethics and no concerns as they are above the law! This lack of ethics that is so prevalent in America today, should cheer ISIS who wants to decapitate our countrymen to create horror. Why should they bother when corporations are already doing their work without concerns?

Where there is no ethics, and only the economics of profit, your death by ISIS or CANCER is of no concern. A loss of ethics in the search for profits, grows systemically like a cancer. In the “food” industry, as each competitor substitutes one cheap chemical for something real, to out do their competitor, so may the next do the same. The race to the bottom ensues and all those trusting souls, who are deceived, suffer.

The Opium of The Masses: It is said that man lives his whole life in search of “completion,” knowing a purpose for his existence. Despite the promises of marriage, completion is not a spouse but unity with an ethical, caring, loving God. The MEDIA of modern society has connected us all in an illusion of completion. It’s evolution is clear, first print, then radio, TV, Internet, Email, Text….. It is an illusion of completion, of joining with others in search of truth, but twisted and poisoned by advertiser unethical manipulation. It lets advertisers manufacturers and politicians, lie cheat and steal with impunity. It is true the A&W would rather not publish the chemicals that it calls food but is forced to by government regulation. However it is the control of your mind, knowing that you will not complain, even as your loved ones die from cancer, that lets them continue with confidence! If Marie Antoinette had this power, she would have certainly been reassured!

There appears to be a mad rush in India, especially in Tamil Nadu where the ISIS is concerned. Youth have openly proclaimed their support for the ISIS and Haja Fakrruddin of Tamil Nadu was one of the first to join the ISIS. Recently youth were found to be posing with ISIS T-shirts openly speaking about Sunni Pride.

The question is what has drawn these youth especially in India to the ISIS, a trend that was not found when similar battle were fought by their brothers in Afghanistan and also Kashmir. … read more here by news reporter Vicky Nanjappa………

……………………………….. my comment………

Muslims will not go away no matter what other nations wish or religions pray for. Muslim terrorists are another subject that is often confused with the word Muslim or Islamic. In America when you hear the word Islamic or Muslim followed by a pause in speech, your mind likely fills in the silence with the word “Terrorist.” It is likely so across most of the free world. We are all defined by the activists not by the passive majority.

Young men always seek power, it is male genetics. Feeling empowered against an imagined or defined enemy or inequality fills that hormonal need for “dominance” which is clearly expressed in the Koran and desired by pubescent males! The image of world dominance by the imagined Caliphate fills such a need and of course, young men are invincible, just ask them or watch them. The ISIS knows how to lure young men with promises of dominance; it is just sad that there is so little passion for the beautiful part of Islam, that with the wisdom and grace of Buddhism could better represent Islam.

What I pray for is the knowledge of how to get off this “rock” and spread the seed of humanity through space. It is a better use of young men’s testosterone than killing their neighbor’s for dominance, oil or 72 virgins.

Seen in the picture below, is terrorism’s new face. It is described by one of my favorite reporters, Vicky Nanjappa, in his article Lashkar, ISIS and the Chechen Terrorists and deserves careful scrutiny. Vicky describes the new face of a potential World Of United Terrorism, partially thanks to Obama’s support of terrorism by his poorly timed withdrawal creating chaos. And this chaos resulting in the destruction of all America’s solider’s have fought to achieve over 13 years of fighting, an opportunity for freedom in the Middle East. George Bush surely read Natan Sharanky’s book The Case For Democracy: The Power Of Freedom to Overcome Tyranny And Terror; Obama either doesn’t read much or has another agenda.

WHO IS RIGHT? Who is Right and who is Wrong in this world wide battle between Freedom and the Caliphate of Islam? In my opinion, we all know the answer, if we look inward. It is those who look outward, with visions of power and greed that know only one word, War! Most great leaders, who had faith in God, said look within to find God and his truth. If you do so, you will recognize that we are all human and as such imperfect. You will recognize that the word of any “prophet” could only be the best impression an imperfect person could share. You will recognized that you don’t want to kill your neighbor; you want to live in peace. You will recognize that there is enough bounty to enrich the lives of every person on Earth and care for the planet, if the goal was to do so. You will recognize that all the systems of religion and government are there for the powerful, cruel, and greedy whose “genius” is to lead others to slaughter their neighbors so the leaders might achieve their visions. The ONLY truth is simple, “love thy neighbor.” If instead of accumulating money, we were to accumulate “gold stars” for each person we helped in our life’s journey as a businessman, doctor, lawyer, politician or ditch digger, it would be a better world! What do we really need? Do we need to own an Island and a Jet? Is it not better to have happiness and reap the joy of the seeds we have sowed by creating the only value that has meaning, the enriched lives of others and the planet?

Why do Americans, in a recent survey, prefer Cockroaches to Congressmen in their homes? It is because in our hearts we know the truth about leadership, all of it!

There is a simple answer to all our problems but we have killed our neighbors in its denial for thousands of years. That answer is that the truth is within a heart that loves his neighbor as his self. Words spoken by many religious leaders but denied in their “practice of religion itself!”

So, who is right and who is wrong? Should we have a Caliphate or Freedom? The answer is simple, there is No Answer from outside only from within. If you follow ANY teaching, Islamic, Jewish, Christian, Buddhist, Communist, Republican, Democratic, Kingdom ….. You are looking outside for a leader who will draw boundaries in the sand and lead you to war.

If humanity and the Earth are to survive, it is time to recognize that if God is all powerful he will speak to our hearts when we turn inward without the teachings and messages of “leaders” who are always, in my opinion, false prophets. There is one truth only, Love Thy Neighbor As Thy Self, after all we are all children of God and by so doing, prove our love for God.

The world “Leadership”, as we know it historically, needs to be redefined. You see, if there are no boundaries we call MINE and not YOURS, then there is no place to lead to and no need for leaders. Leaders don’t lead us to success they lead us to protect our imagined wealth and another’s hoped for poverty. They do not lead us to greatness, they lead us to war, death and division.

When we learn to live united as God’s People, without leaders and shun them as much as we have shunned “false prophets” then we will possibly find truth. Then the Caliphate, ISIS and the Chechen Terrorists will be as meaningless as any other flag rallying for the death of its neighbor. We need to erase all these imagined boundaries, recognize humanity and Earth, turn inward with love and share the resultant joy and prosperity. It is a simple vision but a difficult task because leaders get in the way.
